About the Author

Dan Gable is the most successful figure to ever wrestle and coach
the sport. His accomplishments as an athlete on the mat and as a mentor
for many years after that have established him as one of the greatest
champions in all of sports.

As a high school wrestler in Waterloo, Iowa, Gable won all 64 of his
matches and three state championships. At Iowa State University he
compiled a 118-1 wrestling record and claimed two NCAA championships. He
still holds NCAA records with 24 straight pins and 99 straight victories.

At the 1972 Olympics, he won a gold medal without surrendering a single
point to any of his six opponents. In his six Olympic matches and the 15
matches he went through to qualify for the Olympic team, Gable posted a
21-0 record and outscored his opponents 130-1.

Gable's coaching record is even more impressive. During 21 seasons as
head coach, his University of Iowa teams won 15 NCAA championships and
21 Big Ten Conference championships. His teams had an unprecedented .932
winning percentage (355-21-5). He also coached the 1984 United States
Olympic wrestling team to seven gold medals.

Gable has been inducted into both the Olympic Hall of Fame and the
National Wrestling Hall of Fame. In 1996, he was listed as one of the
top 100 U.S. Olympians of all time. And in 1999, he was selected by ESPN
and ABC as one of the top 100 coaches in all sports in the twentieth
century.

Now serving as the assistant to the athletic director at the University
of Iowa, Gable continues to work with world-class wrestlers, overseeing
their training in preparation for major national and international
competitions. Gable keeps his home in Iowa City, and when not involved
with Hawkeye athletics or national speaking engagements, he enjoys
outdoor activities with his family, especially camping, boating,
fishing, and wildlife sightseeing.
